Java thread initialization error?

When I compile a java program I get the following error:
Unable to initialize threads: cannot find class java/lang/Thread.
I think it is because of the classpath.
I do not know how to check environment varibles and how to set them. I
therefore do not know how to check the CLASSPATH variable if it is set
properly or not.
Thank you.

The Answer is :

Please start with the information at:
http://www.digital.com/java/documentation/
and read up on the version of Java you are running.
In particular, this initially appears to be related
to information contained in the:
Post-Installation - Running Setup
section in
